Asake is a performer whose sound draws from street music, choral textures and rhythmic chant, reshaped for mainstream audiences. He has built a reputation for ambition that extends beyond the studio.
He is being honoured for being the first African artist to headline the Red Bull Symphonic at Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre in 2025. The ambitious show featured a thirty-three-piece orchestra and impressively reimagined several of his hits for a symphonic setting.
